The Mind Eraser

The light was shining on Evangeline's face as she opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing and as she looked around her, she didn't know where she was at. It wasn't until she saw Mason and Casey sleeping beside her on the pillows that she remembered everything. The dancing and food and the new hideout. The alcohol and the laughing. The bright light. The loud noises. Everything. The world has died back to normal, no longer having the sharp clarity it had the night before. Her mouth was really dry though

homework I would rush to complete it and not look at it until it was time to hand it in. Unlike in my other classes, in math, this behavior did nothing but hurt my grade. My assignment would have all types of markings on them and would pay them no mind as long as the overall grade was acceptable. In retrospect, if I had put effort into understanding the little mistakes that I did and why what I got wrong was wrong, my math averages throughout the years would have been exponentially better. I never

I hadn’t dreamed of the monkeys. I took my shower and brushed my teeth. Pleased with all my homework, I went downstairs. I had a bacon sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate. Dad signed my guardian slip for the school trip. I checked for my pencils, eraser, and pencil sharpener, and made sure that my book bag was packed and all was intact. I dressed warmly, with an extra shirt underneath. Feeling so comfortable in my outfit, I got into the car and waved to my mum. Dad dropped me off at school at 8 am

Shemp D. Howard Writin clas 9/21/112 Since my friends and I were seniors this year we decided that we needed to do something to celebrate us leaving Catskill. We spent many lunches at Subways trying to decide what we should do. We started out wanting to go to Cape Cod for the weekend. Then it went from Cape Cod to Boston, Massachusetts. Finally it ended up a day at

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my alarm clock. It reads “6:20.” The first thought to enter my mind as I awoke was, “Sonuvabitch. Another day to see phonies at Triton High School.” I hopped out of my bed and took a shower. The water was cold like it has been for the past week. It almost turned me into a human icicle. I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, did all the morning requirements. Every day is a loop; I follow the same daily schedule: wake up, go to school, come

For example, with my struggling students who haven’t understood the concept of multiplication I am thinking of asking them if you have 7 smelly erasers, how many groups of 3 can you get rom seven? This is an example of a sample response that I will apply towards my struggling students to get them engage when having to think how many groups of a given number they need. Students who know their multiplication

friend or an adult that I don’t mind talking to and make them listen to my concerns. A strategy that I use when I talk to a friend or an adult is that I would try to pinpoint the most important concerns that I have and I would look at their reactions so that I know when to stop when they begin to lose focus on listening to my problem. Another way that I use to handle my uncomfortable emotions is to do exercise, especially yoga because the soothing music allows my mind to relax. In addition, the yoga

In Minds, Brains, and Programs John Searle objects to Computational Theory of Mind (CTM), particularly that running a program on a computer and manipulating symbols does not mean that the computer has understanding, or more generally a mind. In this paper I will first explain Searle’s Chinese Room, then I will explain CTM and how it relates to the Chinese Room. Following this I will describe how the Chinese Room attacks the CTM. Next I will explain the Systems Reply to the Chinese Room and how

Classroom Management Plan “The first day of school is the most important day of the school year (Wong, 2009)”. It is the day where classroom rules and procedures are set in place and the students know what is expected from them. An effective teacher will dedicate time in creating a classroom management plan in order to help maintain appropriate behaviors of the students in the classroom. “When classrooms aren’t managed, they become chaotic and less productive (Wong, 2009).” Student’s will respond

there are some out there who have to put up with abuse from their pets. Take this parrot owner, for example. Every time that he uses a pencil, his parrot will steal it from him. When the man attempts to retrieve the utensil, the parrot will bite the eraser off the end! Naturally, the parrot owner tries to reason with the unreasonable parrot by asking what he should do if he makes a mistake. The parrot's response is priceless and completely hilarious! You won't want to miss this parrot's cheeky response
